Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 Demo Review
Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 is the Christmas edition of Gates of Olympus 1000 by Pragmatic Play. Zeus wears a Santa coat and the gems are covered in snow, but the famous formula stays: pay anywhere wins, tumbles and multipliers of up to 1,000x. Volatility is high, the RTP is 96.50% and the top win is 15,000x the bet. Bets range from $0.20 to $300 per spin.
Pay Anywhere Wins and Tumbles
The 6×5 grid has no paylines. Eight or more of the same symbol anywhere on the screen make a win, and winning symbols disappear so new ones tumble in from above. Tumbles continue until no new win forms, with no limit on how many can follow.
Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 Symbols and Payouts

Multiplier Orbs up to 1,000x
Multiplier symbols can land on any spin or tumble, in the base game and in free spins. Each one takes a value of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x or 1,000x. When the tumble sequence ends, all multipliers on screen are added together and the total win of the sequence is multiplied by that sum.
Free Spins with a Total Multiplier
Four or more Zeus Scatters anywhere award 15 free spins, and 3 or more Scatters during the round add 5 more. In free spins every multiplier that lands with a win is added to a total multiplier, and from then on that total also applies to every new win with a multiplier. The total can only grow during the round, so late tumbles can pay far more than early ones.
Ante Bet and Buy Free Spins
The Ante Bet raises the bet by 25% and doubles the chance of free spins, but switches off the buy feature. Without it, the free spins can be bought for 100x the bet, with 4 Scatters guaranteed on the triggering spin. The RTP is 96.50% in normal play and with the Ante Bet, and 96.49% when buying free spins.
Who Should Try Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000
If you enjoy the original Gates of Olympus, this edition plays the same in a festive look. It is a high volatility game built around big multiplier moments, with a 15,000x cap that is among the highest in this collection. Expect quiet stretches between bonuses, and try the demo to get a feel for the pace.
